The month of April is a nightmare for any college student. The saying, "April showers bring May flowers" refers to the many students crying over how much work they have to do, and how beautiful life will be once finals are over in May. The constant struggle between too much homework and not enough time is definitely happening to every student, but it will shortly all be worth it when summer begins. At this point in the year, every professor thinks that their class is the only one you attend, so the workload is insane. So many last minute assignments, projects, and papers that somehow couldn't have been assigned earlier in the semester ...? Even though it's hard to smile and relax during this time of the year, hopefully these "Friends" will turn your frown upside down. Here are the 15 stages that every college student goes through in the last weeks of the semester as told by "Friends!"

1. When the stress hits you, but none of your friends, and they can't understand why you're panicking:

2. When your professor tells you that there isn't a final for the class:

3. BUT there is a final group project instead:

4. When you have become a pro at getting your work done and letting nothing distract you:

5. When you have four exams the week before finals week:

6. When your friends join you for a study party at the library:

7. When you don't even realize you fell asleep in the middle of writing your 10-page paper:

8. When you read back the work you did at 2 a.m:

9. When it's 11:50 p.m. and the homework you just remembered you had to do is due at 11:59 p.m:

10. When the professor says the final is cumulative:

11. When the professor doesn't give out a study guide or do any kind of review for the final:

12. When your parents call and ask how you're doing:

13. When you're actually trying to get sleep the night before your hardest final:

14. When you have three finals down and two more to go:

15. When you're finally done with all of your finals:

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
